HK and Southern China they are very civilized, but go to Shanghai where I was recently you get it everywhere. Shanghai is a shithole, hated the place. Love Hong Kong, vibrant, exciting and civilised Went to Beijing too big and polluted I find the places nearer to Chiang Rai not too bad. I only like westernized Chinese food which doesn't help.

Love Hong Kong, vibrant, exciting and civilised Went to Beijing too big and polluted I find the places nearer to Chiang Rai not too bad. I only like westernized Chinese food which doesn't help. I lived in Shanghai for close on three years, huge place, was overwhelming at times by the amount of people, but I wouldn't call it a shithole. Then again I lived in the old French Concession and got out most weekends to explore the environs or fly down to HK. Shanghai is not 'China', very diverse, vibrant but the Shanghanese are very money/guanxi orientated. Big competition to outdo one another and big rivalry with HK. Beijing gets a lot of pollution and dust and feels mostly closed in and controlled being the capital, nice landmarks but very different people in mindset to the Shanghanese. The thing with China is it's one universe many planets. I prefer HK and Southern China, apart from the weather there is that easy going nature of the Cantonese and it's within easy reach of destinations such as BKK, Hainan, Macao on some weekends, Philippines. Definitely HK is the place to be for me in terms of quality of living.

*Sigh* such unbecoming generalizations. How do you know they were Cantonese? Did you check their passports?

...SD tells me who's speaking Cantonese and who's speaking Mandarin...while both groups appear to be socially aggressive, the Mandarin speakers demonstrate an incredible lack of couth...

North China is the birthplace of uncouth. People spitting bones on the table, spitting on the ground, smoking everywhere, loud and obnoxious, many other horrid habits which to Westerners/Thais are intolerable.
